The new town council ought %
put down brick OF stone pavements
instead Of board walks. As fast a.
the present walks become dangerous
or unfit for use, they ouget to be re-.
placed by brick or stone. A few
rods might be put down each year
and soon the town would be sub
stantially paved. The taxpayers
would not feel the difference in the
way Of tax rates either, in the out
come the pavements would be much
cheaper than the board walks Which
are often dangerous and annoying
and always a constant expense TO

If the Republicans 90 back on

evitable and seemed TO stare him In
the face at every turn in the cam
paign. Now, when be has a show
for an election, it would be contrary
to every principle Of party usage, %
discard him and take up another man.

The Democratic situation VIVA.


IT is now clearly to be seen that
the Democrats will have trouble to
keep this State in line in the next
campaign. 1t is no use to try to
hide this fact from the Democratic
masses longer, and, indeed, to do so
will be suicidal to our party's inter
ests. On account OF wranglings a.
mong our party leaders and the in.
activity of our State Central Commit
tee, the voters have become negli-
gent in the discharge of their duties
to the party, and many of them are
more often found at home than at
the polls on election day. This state
of things must be remedied before
another campaign is upon us or the
State will fall an easy prey into the
hands of the Republican party. All
the differences among our leaders APP
pear to be personal in their nature,
and it seems very strange that they
will allow these to so far overcome
them as to jeopardize the interests of
their party rather than YIELD even a
point, be it ever so inconsiderate.
They must remember that the eyes
OF the masses of the party are upon
them and their doings. In one week
they can do more wrong to party in
terests than whole year can amend.
Our party leaders must stop fighting
among themselves or the State is lost
and will become the prize of the Re.
puDhcans. But let us take q glance
in another direction. In the cam.
paign last fall our State Central
Committee remained inactive. What
was the result? Take glance at
the election returns. They reveal
the answer. The Democrats lost
heavily in nearly every comfy in the
State and the Republicans came near
bagging the Congressman in this, the
I'd District, which ought, with prop.
er management, to give at least , 900
Democratic majority. While the
members of our State Committee
were asleep with their thumbs in
their mouths, the Republican Com.
mittee was busily at work organizing
their forces in every county in the
State and so efectually did they &C.
complish this work that on election
day they had nearly every RepubH.
can In the State at the polls, who
not only voted but worked with an
enthusiasm that induced many a
luke-warm Democrat to vote the Re.
publican ticket. One ofour greatest
needs Is a new and thoroughly org
anized State Committee-one COM
posed of members who do not trust
everything to fate, but who will work
earnestly and persistently for the
success of the party. West Virgin
Ia Is Democratic State if properly
organized, but before this can be
brought about our leaders must cease
warning among themselves and we
must have a new State Central Com.
mittee composed Of men who are not
Rip VanWinkles. These two things
must be accomplished or the State
will be carried by the Republicans at
the next election. The handwriting
is visible upon the wall.
